New Issue, Now Online

The new issue is now online.Highlights: Joseph Sorrentinos photo essay on the dangers faced by migrants traveling through Mexico aboard the train of the unknowns, Elizabeth Kirkland Cahill on the connections between Mr. Biswas and Mr. Bond (James Bond), and our 2012 Christmas critics. Also posted today: E.J. Dionne on how Mitt Romneys loss seems to be spurring bishops to rethink the churchs rightward tilt.

"Rarely does a document reach the floor of the conference and then fail to win the two-thirds majority necessary for approval. Something is stirring." Cardinal Law left in disgrace but his appointees remained to continue to embarass the American church. Now even the bishops are tired of an insipid leadership which has left them mired in disgrace for advocating a partisan agenda. Even John McCain is saying the Republicans should get off the abortion politics bandwagon.
